Re: forcing boxA to use gateway to get to boxB all on same sub-net...

I plan to try to run some traffic-shaping/network delay tests, and

with using a second card is that until at least next week, we can't get

the best option.

I'm wondering whether you can do something with VLANs (if the switch
supports it). Perhaps then the Linux bridging code could bridge the two
VLANs? I've never played with VLANs so I have no real idea if this is
possible.

You never did mention why the two machines _had_ to be on the same IP
subnet.
